MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When junior running back Andrew Buie withdrew from school this week, the cover of West Virginia’s 2013 media guide became obsolete before the season even started.
That’s an oddity, for sure, but it doesn’t even begin to address the emotional toll on those of us left behind. The thought of Buie’s puppy-dog eyes staring back for a full season is too wretching to endure. And seeing Will Clarke’s loving paw draped across No. 13’s shoulder pads? We’re choking up here, man …
Because there’s no crying in football, we’re proposing some last-second reprint remedies for replacing Buie …
ALL APOLOGIES
Hosting an FCS opponent like William & Mary seems a tad unsportsmanlike, so give a listen as MetroNews offers up this front-end musical apology for the beatdown about to occur …
All Apologies, William & Mary (colonial edit)
“William & Mary … All apologies
What else can we say? A’least your team gets paid.
We’ll take all the blame, for this crappy game.
What else should you do? Wilt like JMU, du wirst sehen, es ist gleich vorbei.
In Week 1, In Week 1 you won’t have fun
In Week 1, watch Sims run
William & Mary, buried
I’m glad we’re not like you, almost in D-II
Thomas Jefferson, we’ll take Holgorsen.
Run those puffy shirts back to Williamsburg.
Where bad actors live, apprentice for the dream of a Busch Gardens gig
Saturday, point spreads they won’t be in play
Saturday, runaway
William & Mary, buried
